Cumin comes with the knowledge of over 4,000 years of use! The spice retained its reputation throughout ancient Rome and Greece, where it was used at the dinner table in much the same way we used salt and pepper.

"The botanical source of cumin is Cuminum cyminum, an annual herb closely related to coriander. Like coriander it was cultivated in early times across Arabia, India, China and the Mediterranean region. It was mentioned by Hippocrates and Dioscordes and Pliny, who wrote that the ground seed was taken with bread, water and wine as both a medicant and a condiment."
